SOLAR ECLIPSE Aug 12
(9:58 a.m. - 11:34 a.m. PT)
At a turning point—or a point of no return?
If you’ve been on edge or out of sorts lately, there’s a reason for it. We’re deep in eclipse season, when things get weird, shadowy, or spinning out of control. A window to destiny is opening wide, as shocks and synchronicities bring new perspectives, orientations, and directions. Secrets get revealed, and a new timeline can begin.
According to Vedic Astrology, this solar eclipse falls in the area of the sky called Ashlesha, the snake star. It’s well known that snake venom is poisonous, but it can also be used as medicine if taken in the correct dosage. In the same way, the Ashlesha solar eclipse can bring both a poison and a cure.
This eclipse is caused by fiery and destructive Ketu, the tail of the shadow snake who is also the giver of liberation. Ketu dissolves karmic debts and helps us get free from the past.
Including patterns that are rooted in childhood or even deeper—from past lives or ancestral heritage. Make space for new beliefs, feelings, and ways to move forward.
